Abraham Pater Multarem Gentium: Genesis 12:1-7 (1967) by Salvador Dalí
Abraham Pater Multarem Gentium Father of Many Nations is Salvador Dalí's striking 1967 interpretation of the biblical moment when God commands Abraham to leave his homeland (Genesis 12:1-7). This limited-edition lithograph from the Biblia Sacra series fuses Dalí's surrealist imagination with sacred text, creating a visual meditation on faith and destiny that is both timeless and profoundly modern.
In this work, Dalí employs his signature dreamlike iconography: ethereal figures, floating orbs, and a landscape that dissolves into abstraction. The composition captures the tension between divine command and human obedience, a theme central to the Abrahamic narrative. Dalí's technical mastery seen in the delicate lithographic lines and expressive brushwork reveals his deep engagement with religious mysticism during his later years.
